So let me preface this by stating I live in Indianapolis, which has its own strong football following.
I have noticed over the last few months, Packers fans have been popping up all over the place, license plates, banners, etc. BUT...
I go into the mall here locally, and in over 5 different national sporting memorabilia chains, I can find 7 different Steelers hats, Broncos, Saints, Buccaneers, etc hats and jerseys ( The finish line had a fricking Danny Woodhead jersey, and the PATs are this areas ARCH rivals).
Packers Hat? A-ROD Jersey? NONE. ZIP. ZILCH. NADA.
I asked one of the stores carrying all the steelers hats (LIDs) why they had 20+ teams and over half a doz SB runner-up hats, vs SB champion hats, and the guy just gave me attitude and said "nobody likes the Packers 'round here".
But they were selling Patriot, Titans, Steelers, Jets, Texans, etc. I would think those would be the teams nobody liked in INDY.
Is anyone else (outside of WI area) seeing this? I know some people here (including me) stated that we got very little national love after the NFC Championship game (all talk about Steelers) and after the SB, it was like we didnt even win at times. Is anyone else seeing a lack of Packers stuff available in their local stores that are focused on sports memorabilia?
